contest entry - real cowboys wear snowshoes

January 1972
 


It was then that Jake realized he should have waited until the horse had his head turned before breaking out the emasculator. It would be a long and lonely walk home.

There's like a centimeter of snow on the ground. What's with the freakin' snowshoes? And that hat is useless for the cold.

Just chiming in with the Canadian viewpoint...

YES, already!

I used to feel sorry for the Marlboro Man. I thought he was duped, a pawn, used to sell the cancer sticks that eventually killed him.

But no.
They knew smoking caused cancer way before MM was born. Now I know he's just another dumbass smoker with soot for brains.

What the heck is that thing he's holding? At first I thought it looked like a sweat scraper, but he sure doesn't need that for his horse in the winter.

Of course, that still seems more likely than the ranch hands having a little game of snow Jai Alai.

I thought it looked more like wire cutters, but, yeah, it's something to fix the fence. I was joking about it being an emasculator. Sort of looks like one, though.

The complete stupidity of this pic is also a man who would smoke up his lungs in the cold when he has heavy duty work to do, not to mention the snow shoe walk back which will also be heavy duty.

I grew up in Texas and most of the ranchers I knew smoked. Then again, they usually hired "Messicans" to do most of the heavy lifting. But they smoked, too, so go figure.
